Well, first thing, we had an "incident" last year where some students posted videos that were taken inside the school. The videos weren't horribly inapporpriate but they were in poor taste and did not represent the students or the school in a positive way.

So the issue is students have little or no awareness that anyone can see what they are posting, and their reputations will be affected.

The danger may be that students reveal compromising information about themselves or others that will be seen by people who will put them at risk. Teachers can have lessons about how to use these tools/sites responsibly.

I think these kids will love this blogging idea. Like you did when you were MY history teacher. Way back in the year...er... 2003 to 2004? Anyways, hope your kids have fun Mr. L!-Allison (Alli) HughesClass of 2008
